    are you working out? I workout 3 to 4 times a week and for a few weeks I saw no weight loss at all but now I'm slowly losing it. Maybe you're just gaining muscle?

    try upping your calories with nuts (almonds and pecans are a personal fav) i recently hit a plateau, binged a little, and gained 2 lbs, but now my calories are back up to normal and i am hoping it will help.

    Hi hun ;-)

    Have you lost 2lbs in the 2 weeks? and now are you stuck?

    what weight are you/height and what does MFP give you as cals for the day..it is difficult to give you an answer without a bit more info

    Same here. I was staying on the same weight for ages despite working out like a demon and sticking to my calories well. Eventually it started to shift so I think I was replacing fat with muscle for a while. I do quite heavy weights.

    Don't worry, I was at the same weight for close to 3 weeks, and finally lost 1.5lbs. I upped my calories and continued working out 5-6 days a week of cardio and weights. Maybe you're losing inches? That's what happened to me.

    when your body gets used to the same thing, it plateaus kinda..maybe it's muscle..i have been at the ssame weight ( almost ) this entire month..i usually lose 3-6 lbs a month, but i have lost just under 1 this month..hang it there, we all know the feeling, and it sucks, good luck

    OK so I am thinking that MFP has given you 1200 cals a day? with your height? You are pretty much within your body weight for your height and do not need to lose an extreme weight loss?

    You can still lose weight and drink some wine at night...I drink wine every night.

    I don`t add friends, but if you mail me from the website I can give you some advice.
